Bean bag toss No, this bean bag is not about to fall on an unsuspecting youngster's head.

The bean bag toss was just one of a number of fund raising events set up at Holy Angels School in Schreiber last week. All proceeds went to the Cystic Fibrosis campaign.

Four jobs created | A total of 335 jobs, in- cluding four in Schreiber, will be created by 127 pro- jects which were recently approved for the Cochrane- Superior riding of MP Keith Penner. The projects, totalling $610,693, were approved under the Summer Em- ployment/Experience Pro- gram (SEED), a compon- ent of Challenge '86, ac- cording to a May 2 news release from Penner. Schreiber received $6,515 in funding to create four positions for students this summer. Penner noted in the rel- ease that "this year's all- ocation is significantly lower than the grants app- roved in 1985 under the same program."' He explained that last year, a total of $762,532 was received to create 438 jobs. Penner blamed the reduction in funding on the present government re- straints. "Two hundred million dollars has been slashed from job creation programs in an attempt to reduce the deficit," Penner said. SEED provides sub- sidies for students hired by the private, municipal, or non-profit sectors. Its em- phasis, according to Penn- er, is on creating career- related jobs. "I know how much these summer jobs mean to students," Penner said. 'The work provided in these projects will certain- ly help alleviate some of the financial burden en- countered by them, and I hope that the knowledge gained will further assist them in their field of study."' The program will also create a number of jobs in Marathon, Longlac, Ger- aldton, and Manitouwadge in Penner's riding.
